This publication covers examine experiences of aloe via the CAP (Creation Aloe prescribed drugs) staff.

Ideally, it will provide complete capture of a sub-population based on a disease, treatment or outcome. Registries are particularly useful for studying long-term effects, rare diseases and rare exposures. g. clozapine monitoring scheme) • Drugs used to treat orphan diseases • Patients who become pregnant whilst using a drug and the outcomes 42 Chapter 3 A registry which has been used to collect data on biological therapies for rheumatoid arthritis is an example of one which is based on both disease and drugs.

Beta-agonists). Giving a beta-blocker to an asthmatic patient can prove to be fatal. Basic concepts 21 • Metabolism – cimetidine, a drug which reduces gastric acid, inhibits the metabolism of warfarin and thereby increases its anticoagulant effect, leading to bleeding reactions. • Excretion – amiodarone, an anti-arrhythmic drug, reduces excretion of, and therefore the dosage requirements for, digoxin – a drug widely prescribed to patients with cardiac disease. Many drugs are metabolised by hepatic cytochrome P450 enzymes, the activity of which may be induced or inhibited by a wide variety of drugs.
